Arthur Atta issues come-and-get-me plea to Premier League clubs
In an interview with the same publication, Atta said: “The Premier League is the best league in the world, if I were to say otherwise it would be a lie. It’s a league that everyone would like to be playing in one day.
“I have not spoken to any clubs yet so I don’t know what can happen in the future. I play for Udinese and I would like to keep growing and keep playing – this is the most important thing for me.
“If there are opportunities in the next transfer window, then the club and I will look at the options. I’m really good at Udinese – they help me a lot. I’m a better player compared to when I came.
“The Premier League is the most-followed league where there are a lot of top players. It’s a difficult league, so all games are at a top-quality level. I think that’s why it is the most attractive league.”

With Sandro Tonali continuing to be linked with a move elsewhere and Joe Willock likely to depart, Newcastle are looking at the midfield department.
And Atta believes he has what it takes to hit the ground running in the Premier League, should the opportunity arise.
“I’m a player who likes to have the ball in the build-up, to be close to goal, to give my team-mates good balls, create space for teammates and also move a lot to disturb the opponents,” Atta added.
“I like to play in the middle and see opponents who don’t understand how to defend those movements.
“I have physical and athletic quality that could be useful in the Premier League. I’m a creative player who can also make a difference one against one. All these things could make me a success in England.”
